2022 Italian general election

A general election was held in Italy on 25 September 2022. The 2022 Italian government crisis, which led to the resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi, resulted in President Sergio Mattarella dissolving the Italian Parliament on 21 July, eight months before its natural expiration, and calling for new elections. Draghi continued to head the government as caretaker Prime Minister. The election saw the centre-right coalition, led by Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy, a political party with neo-fascist roots, winning an absolute majority of Parliament seats. Meloni was appointed Prime Minister of Italy on 22 October and became the first woman to hold that position.
